Typically, we think of a mid-life crisis as something only a man might experience. Therefore, typically, we’re sexist idiots.

A woman can have a major freak out just as well as a man can, thank you very much. Sometimes, she can even do it better.

Luckily, a vivacious childhood friend strolls into the picture and turns the ongoing crisis into a series of smart one-liners.
